see hear now is a real-time music and video collaboration that seeks to merge the sonic and the visible, and to transport the performers and audience to a transcendent experience. in our individual work, we as artists are fascinated by sounds and images from nature and life. to create his live improvisations, david begins with the acoustic sounds he draws from his piano, small instruments and found objects. when he expands them through live electronic transformations and spatial diffusion they retain the power of natural sound. gisela, a photographer, has extended her image making into video and projection. using multiple projectors and mirrors, her layered video imagery collages movements and rhythms she observes in our world. with a system david developed, gisela performs her imagery with the same immediacy as david performs his music.
